Abstract

Abstract A nonwoven fabric having the appearance of a woven fabric and suited for use as a lining material for garments, comprising a nonwoven fabric substrate embossed on its face in a regular pattern of discrete areas of a maximum diameter of about 0.45 mm spaced not more than about 1.0 mm apart and carrying thereon in a regular printed pattern discrete areas of bonding-agent of a maximum diameter of about 0.45 mm spaced not more than about 0.7 mm apart. Advantageously the bonding-agent contains a coloring additive which differentiates it from the color of the nonwoven fabric, the spacing of the areas of the bonding-agent printed pattern is from about 50 to 95% of the spacing of the areas of the embossed pattern, the areas of the embossed and printed patterns are rectangular, the lengths of their lateral edges corresponding to a ratio of about 2:3, the sum of the length and width not exceeding a value of about 0.9 mm, and the areas of the embossed and printed patterns are arranged in straight lines parallel and at right angles to the longitudinal direction, and the areas within the lines of the embossed pattern and within the lines of the printed pattern are evenly spaced. The underside of the fabric may carry an adhesive by means of which it may be bonded to the underside of an outer fabric as a lining therefor.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim 103 words
A nonwoven fabric having the appearance of a woven fabric, and suited for use as a lining material for garments, comprising a nonwoven fabric substrate embossed substantially over its entire face in a regular pattern of discrete areas of a maximum diameter of about 0.45 mm spaced not more than about 1.0 mm apart and carrying thereon substantially over its entire face in a regular printed pattern discrete colored areas of bonding agent of a maximum diameter of about 0.45 mm spaced not more than about 0.7 mm apart, the areas of the embossed pattern being spaced farther apart then the colored areas.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 103 words
A nonwoven fabric having the appearance of a woven fabric, and suited for use as a lining material for garments, comprising a nonwoven fabric substrate embossed substantially over its entire face in a regular pattern of discrete areas of a maximum diameter of about 0.45 mm spaced not more than about 1.0 mm apart and carrying thereon substantially over its entire face in a regular printed pattern discrete colored areas of bonding agent of a maximum diameter of about 0.45 mm spaced not more than about 0.7 mm apart, the areas of the embossed pattern being spaced farther apart then the colored areas.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 24 words
A nonwoven fabric according to claim 1, wherein the bonding-agent contains a coloring additive which differentiates it from the color of the nonwoven fabric.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 25 words
A nonwoven fabric according to claim 1, wherein the areas forming the embossed pattern and the colored areas are of the same form or size.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 30 words
A nonwoven fabric according to claim 1, wherein the spacing of the colored areas is from about 50 to 95% of the spacing of the areas of the embossed pattern.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 51 words
A nonwoven fabric according to claim 1, wherein the areas of the embossed and colored patterns are arranged in straight lines parallel and at right angles to the longitudinal direction, and the areas within the lines of the embossed pattern and within the lines of the colored pattern are evenly spaced.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 22 words
A nonwoven fabric according to claim 1, wherein the areas of the embossed and colored patterns are circular, square, rectangular or ellipsoidal.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 46 words
A nonwoven fabric according to claim 1, wherein the areas of the embossed and colored patterns are rectangular, the lengths of their lateral edges corresponding to a ratio of about 2:3, the sum of the length and width not exceeding a value of about 0.9 mm.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 35 words
A nonwoven fabric according to claim 1, including an adhesive on the face of the nonwoven substrate remote from the colored areas, whereby the fabric can be adhered to an outer fabric as a lining.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 112 words
A nonwoven fabric according to claim 9, wherein the spacing of the areas colored is from about 50 to 95% of the spacing of the areas of the embossed pattern, the areas of the embossed and colored patterns are rectangular, the lengths of their lateral edges corresponding to a ratio of about 2:3, the sum of the length and width not exceeding a value of about 0.9 mm, and the areas of the embossed and colored patterns are arranged in straight lines parallel and at right angles to the longitudinal direction, and the areas within the lines of the embossed pattern and within the lines of the colored pattern are evenly spaced.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 19 words
A garment including an outer fabric and, adhered thereto as a lining, a nonwoven fabric according to claim 1.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 19 words
A garment including an outer fabric and, adhered thereto as a lining, a nonwoven fabric according to claim 9.
